Cover Crops Cut Soil Loss in Iowa Trials
Iowa State College researchers report four advantages of cover crops sown with corn to curb erosion, boost soil organic matter and add nitrogen. Benefits include soil protection August to May, organic matter from legumes and grasses, nitrogen enrichment, and a slight rise in next year’s corn yield. A practical seeding method uses endgate broadcast seeding with cultivator weeders assisting coverage.

Clover and Alfalfa Need Limed Fertilized Soil
Sweet clover and alfalfa improve soil nitrogen and organic matter when well fed. Legumes need lime to correct acidity and calcium. Tests at Newton Illinois show sweet clover with lime and phosphate potash yields 63 pounds more nitrogen and more organic matter per acre than lime alone.

Cleanliness Emphasized In Treating of Wounds
Horses under treatment do much better at pasture than in stables if the weather is suitable. If sick horses must be stabled quarters should be clean and well ventilated. Be gentle in dressing wounds clip closely or shave the hair around the wound and make sure that no discharge from around the edges is carried into the wound. Proper drainage of the wound must be assured.
